Student Expectations
Student Expectations
Courses offered at Metropolitan Community College (MCC) have college-level content, subject matter, expectations and standards, and students will be held to those standards and graded accordingly.
It is the responsibility of the student to comply with the MCC Student Code of Conduct and all standards set forth in the course syllabus.
If a student under the age of 18 is enrolled in both a high school and a postsecondary institution, their parents still retain the right under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) at the high school, but postsecondary rights belong to the student. Students who wish to grant parental or third-party access to their educational records may do so through the Registrar's Office by submitting an Authorization to Release Student Information Form after course registration is complete.
